será que a google está fornecendo dados corretos de pessoas idôneas e não informando elas sobre isso?

Safernet pede, e Google entrega ao Legislativo mais dados de usuários do Orkut

Google entregou dados de 18.500 álbuns, nos quais os xerifes da web imaginam que identificarão 7.000 pedófilos. Na fase anterior, foram entregues 3.261 álbuns, e identificados 500 usuários classificados como pedófilos pelos envolvidos. Será que os outros 85% dos usuários cuja privacidade foi investigada a pedido de uma ONG foram adequadamente notificados?

Dispensado pelo Google, Yahoo! se volta para a Microsoft

O diretor-executivo do Yahoo!, Jerry Yang, afirmou ontem (5), em San Francisco (EUA), que um acordo entre a Microsoft e sua empresa seria “a melhor coisa neste momento”. (…) “Hoje, eu diria que a melhor coisa para a Microsoft é comprar o Yahoo!”, disse Yang. “Se nós queríamos fazer esse acordo? Sim”, completou.

(…)

O Google decidiu abandonar o acordo com o Yahoo! para publicidade on-line, para fugir de uma disputa judicial com autoridades de regulamentação de comércio. Em post em seu blog corporativo, a empresa afirma que tomou a decisão porque a parceria poderia gerar “não apenas uma batalha prolongada, mas também estragos nas relações com parceiros importantes”.

Can’t Access Your Google Account? Tough Luck

“On Friday 31st October, I woke up, went to check my gmail, and couldn’t login. It just said “Account has been disabled”. No reason, nothing. I went through their ‘contact us’ form. It replies with an auto-responder stock e-mail listing irrelevant reasons. I e-mailed back, more auto-responders. I’ve since called their adwords support number, who keep saying “We’re looking into it”. 6 days is long enough to reinstate an account.”

According to his own evidence gathering, somebody apparently gained access to Axod’s Google account and caused it to get disabled, all just for fun. Even if that’s all it was, a simple prank, Axod has his entire life wrapped up in that Google account — Gmail, a personal blog, AdWords and AdSense accounts, a calendar he shared with his wife. He has to reboot his online life and start over from scratch, which he is in the process of doing.

DONO EVIL MY ASS!

A couple of hours ago, the Google Security Team posted an article claiming that Google’s made the switch to OpenID, joining Yahoo! and Microsoft in the ranks OpenID providers.

But it looks like someone may have been a bit to hasty to pull that switch (perhaps itching to get some of the limelight Microsoft has been receiving for adding OpenID to all Live ID accounts just the day before yesterday)… because whatever it is that Google has released support for, it sure as hell isn’t OpenID (…) It’s not just a “departure” from OpenID, it’s a whole new standard.

Debunking Google’s security vulnerability disclosure propaganda

Question: You’re a multibillion dollar tech giant, and you’ve launched a new phone platform after much media fanfare. Then a security researcher finds a flaw in your product within days of its release. Worse, the vulnerability is due to the fact that you shipped old (and known to be flawed) software on the phones. What should you do? Issue an emergency update, warn users, or perhaps even issue a recall? If you’re Google, the answer is simple. Attack the researcher.

(…)

If Google can criticize Miller at all, it cannot be for not warning the company, but perhaps for not providing them with enough warning. However, given that Google shipped known-vulnerable software to hundreds of thousands of users, and that fixed versions of the vulnerable software packages have been available for some time, it is difficult for this blogger to sympathize with the folks in Mountain View.

Furthermore, given Mr. Miller’s previous mercenaryish history of selling software vulnerabilities to the National Security Agency (which presumably used the flaws to break into foreign government computers, and not in order to fix the vulnerable software), we should be happy that he is at least now sharing the existence of this flaw with the public. At least this way, developers have a good chance of finding and fixing it.

The Google Dilemma

James Grimmelmann – New York Law School

Abstract: Web search is critical to our ability to use the Internet. Whoever controls search engines has enormous influence on all of us; whoever controls the search engines, perhaps, controls the Internet itself. This short essay (based on talks given in January and April 2008) uses the stories of five famous search queries to illustrate the conflicts over search and the enormous power Google wields in choosing whose voices are heard on the Internet.

Keywords: search, search engine, Google, Internet

Google Repeats Itself: Give Us Your Data, But We Won’t Tell You How Google Works or Give You Control

Ben Gomes, a Google engineer, blogged lightly about the “experiment” on Tuesday.
(…)

In an 850-plus word post, it’s good to know that Google will spend 22 to tell us that (a) they’re collecting data and (b) they aren’t going to share it with us. That is, they don’t value your privacy — everything you do, they’re watching; and they don’t value transparency — they’re going to keep all that information, all their code, and all their algorithms under lock and key.

Debunking the Google Earth Censorship Myth

“There’s a persistent Web meme to the effect that Google obscures sensitive or top-secret locations in Google Maps and Google Earth at the insistence of national governments. A July IT Security article promoted on Digg, ‘Blurred Out: 51 Things You Aren’t Allowed to See on Google Maps‘, revived this notion. But the article has been widely criticized, and I did some fact-checking this week on the six Boston-area locations mentioned in the IT Security list. As it turns out, not one of the allegedly blurred locations has degraded imagery in Google Maps, as my screen shots demonstrate. My post looks into the sources of the misleading IT Security piece, and of other mistaken rumors about Google Maps.”

Adeus à privacidade na rede

Não importa se o usuário está abrindo um canto no Blogger, enviando um vídeo para o YouTube, usando um editor de textos no Google Docs, armazenando seu histórico médico no Google Health ou instalando o Chrome, todos acabam no porto californiano que é esse centro de privacidade que só reconhece a jurisdição de Mountain View, EUA, e onde não se sabe muito bem o que se faz com os dados.

O negócio dos dados é muito mais rentável do que um usuário pouco informado possa imaginar. Um dado isolado não vale nada; os dados que um usuário gera ao usar todos esses serviços não têm preço. Seu cruzamento permite saber o que ele busca, quando e de onde se conecta, com quem fala e sobre o quê, onde passará as férias ou se vai assassinar seu cônjuge, como no caso de Melanie McGuire, descoberta e condenada à prisão perpétua por ter cometido o deslize de procurar no Google “veneno indetectável”.

Quanto mais dados se cruzam, mais preciso é nosso retrato digital. Por isso a legislação espanhola e da Comunidade Européia, que a Google não aplica a seus usuários espanhóis, proíbe a cessão de dados entre empresas do mesmo grupo sem consentimento, obriga as companhias a dizer que informação tem de seus usuários e para que a usa, cancelando-a quando não é mais necessária. Tudo isso para que o dono desse retrato holográfico decida o que permite que se faça ou não com seus dados.
Essa queixas sobre a política de privacidade da Google não são novas.
